Real-world animals have been mentioned more than once to exist in the world of Pokémon. Most often, they are mentioned in relation to a Pokémon species. For example, Pikachu is known as the "Mouse Pokémon" and was directly referred to in the anime as an "electric mouse", hinting that real-world mice exist in the Pokémon world. Other than this, all other mentions of animals are rare.
In the games
- A few Pokédex entries have mentioned the existence of real-world animals.
- In both Raichu's and Gastly's FireRed Pokédex entries, Indian Elephants are mentioned.
- In Red, Blue, and Yellow Versions, the player makes a comment about crabs while aboard the S.S. Anne.
- In Red, Blue, and Yellow Versions, a chef aboard the S.S. Anne says "Er-hem! Indeed I am le CHEF! Le main course is Eels au Barbecue!" He also speaks of a "Salad le salmon".
In the anime
Animals have been seen in the anime. They were more common in the original series as there weren't as many Pokémon species introduced at the time. A picture book based on the Pokémon anime once featured a dog walking past Ash and his friends, and a piece of concept art of the residents of Pallet Town featured a cat. Birds can also occasionally be heard in the background.
Animal appearances have become less frequent as more Pokémon have been added to take their places.
- Misty is scared when she sees a Caterpie, and Ash tries to calm her down by reminding her that it's a Template:Type2 Pokémon rather than a "real" bug.
- Pidgeotto is seen eating a regular worm before being captured by Ash.
- Fish can be seen in the fish tanks inside the gym. They have made later appearances featuring the Cerulean Gym.
- More fish can be seen swimming in the ocean near the sunken St. Anne.
- Fish can be seen in the aquarium in Nastina's vision of her completed luxury hotel.
- A Gastly created an illusion of a mongoose in order to scare Jessie's Ekans.
- In one scene, James is holding a lobster.
- In the Japanese version, Gary finds an ammonite Fossil.
- While Ash and his friends are looking for a hotel to stay in, a picture of a tiger can be seen in one of the hotels.
- While Ash and his friends are resting, their elderly female host mentions the disappearance of her "muskrat meatballs."
- While Meowth was looking for food, he came across some fish bones.
- When one of Misty's catches escapes from her fishing line, Ash says that it was probably a catfish.
Near the ending Misty mentions a doghouse.
In the manga
Animals have also been seen in the manga.
- In How I Became a Pokémon Card, a cat appears in one chapter.
- In Pokémon Pocket Monsters, regular animals appear alongside Pokémon.
- In Pokémon Get da ze!, a snail appears in one chapter.

At least three animals can be spotted in the Let's Find Pokémon! series.
- In Let's Find Pokémon!, a dragonfly can be seen near a pond, and a worm can be seen in the beak of a Pidgey.
- In Let's Find Pokémon! 3, a Kangaskhan is eating a fish with rice.
